20. We have assumed the same oscillator strength (Formula presented) for all radii: the energy dependence of f is therefore neglected. This effect (which is shown in Ref. 10 to give a weak additional size dependence of the Rabi splitting) cannot be simply evaluated using (Formula presented) theory to lowest order, since using the momentum or dipole interactions would yield different size dependences. To avoid the complications of a higher order (Formula presented) calculation, we have chosen to focus on the more interesting size dependence given by the overlap coupling matrix (Formula presented)
